Tomorrow on CBS at 5:00 p.m. Nashville time. As I recall they announce the overall number 1 seed first and then the other 1 seeds. What I cannot recall is if from there they announce the First Four participants, or merely go Region by Region. Anyway, it can be one heck of a roller coaster ride. If we see Mississippi State's name up there before ours it can be agonizing.
I was the spectator in a family of very talented basketball players and my children inherited my athletic genes. We are big fans instead, and actually videotaped our watching the Selection Show years ago. One year we were headed to Disney World for Spring Break and could not watch the show. My wife got the CBS radio network on the car radio and the very last pairing that Greg Gumbel announced was Vanderbilt vs. Western Michigan in Orlando. I nearly drove the car off the road, and then my kids screamed the game is in Orlando. That meant nothing to me at the time until my wife reminded me of where we were headed. That year Western Michigan was a very popular pick to upset Vanderbilt. Very popular. We wound up going to the game and we never let up for 40 minutes.
I know many on this board are not fans of Joe Lunardi. I am, a big one in fact. How can you not like a guy whose father was fond of saying, "Behind every successful man is a surprised woman." Lunardi says one thing with which we can all agree, and he says it over and over -- no one knows who is getting in except for 12 people locked in a hotel in NYC. Which leaves us all to voice our opinion as loudly as we wish. As for me, I think we will see our name called tomorrow. And thanks to the video recorder on my cell phone I am going to tape it. Anchor Down!
